And they keep re-running them, and I keep having people say "I saw you on Channel 11!" and I apologize for taking up their TV room.

A couple of election years ago, the now-defunct CNBC-fn (if I recall correctly) had me on at their studio on Wacker to talk about newspaper endorsements. So I yakked on with a guy from the Lowell, Mass. daily. I had an ad-lib all ready about not wanting to disagree with an institution that once hired Jack Kerouac as a sportswriter, but of course had no chance to use it. When our little segment was over, I went to get a drink at Rivers across the street before taking the Metra home. At the bar I looked up and one of the TVs was tuned to the program I had just been on. Did anyone, even the bartender, notice that the guy who was just on the TV was at the bar? Of course not.

There's also a ton more good stuff -- too much for someone who likes quality television to watch. And I'm a person who decries cultural degradation more even than you do. There is even -- amazingly -- a quality cable news network now: AJA. <br /><br />Also, I'm curious why you didn't name your interviewer. I assume it was Scarborough? <br /><br />Dan Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-87840109616604125352014-03-09T09:00:35.299-05:002014-03-09T09:00:35.299-05:00I was on Fox a couple of years ago about policing....I was on Fox a couple of years ago about policing.
